< embodiment 1>

The refrigerator 1 of the present invention is a compressor-top refrigerator that can be inserted into a storage space such as a cabinet. Fig. 1 is a sectional view schematically showing the overall configuration of a refrigerator 1 according to embodiment 1. As shown in fig. 1, the refrigerator 1 is internally divided by heat insulating members into a plurality of storage compartments including, for example, a refrigerating compartment 2, a temperature changing compartment 3, and a freezing compartment 4 from top to bottom.

The refrigerating chamber 2 is a storage chamber for refrigerating and storing articles, and the temperature inside the chamber is generally set to a refrigerating temperature range, usually 1 to 10 ℃, so as not to freeze the stored articles.

The temperature-variable chamber 3 is a storage chamber whose temperature can be switched as needed, and for example, can be switched between the above-described refrigerating temperature zone, freezing temperature zone, or other predetermined temperature zone.

The freezing chamber 4 is a storage chamber for freezing and storing articles, and the temperature inside the chamber is generally set to a freezing temperature range, typically-23 ℃ to-15 ℃. In order to improve the state of cryopreservation, the minimum temperature may be set to any value between-30 ℃ and-23 ℃.

The plurality of storage compartments of the refrigerator 1 are not limited to the refrigerating compartment 2, the warming compartment 3, and the freezing compartment 4 described above, and may include compartments having other various functions.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a machine room 100 for housing components such as a condenser 10 and a compressor 20 (described later) is provided on the rear side of the ceiling portion of the refrigerator 1. By disposing the machine room 100 in the rear region of the uppermost storage room of the refrigerator 1, which is difficult for the user to reach, the space of the lowermost machine room of the refrigerator, which is easy for the user to use in the conventional refrigerator, can be effectively converted into the space of the storage room, and the storage property and the use convenience can be greatly improved.

Fig. 3 is a rear perspective view of the mechanism compartment 100, and fig. 4 is a rear sectional view showing an internal structure of the mechanism compartment 100.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the machine chamber 100 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped housing space surrounded by a sheet material such as a cover plate and extending in the left-right direction, and an air inlet 40 and an air outlet 50 communicating with the external space of the refrigerator 1 are formed in the outer wall of the machine chamber 100. The intake port 40 is provided at one side (e.g., left side) of the wall surface of the machine room 100, and the exhaust port 50 is provided at the other side (e.g., right side) of the wall surface of the machine room 100. In addition, the intake opening 40 and the outtake opening 50 may be respectively provided in plural numbers, for example, a part of the intake opening 40 and the outtake opening 50 is provided at the top surface of the mechanism compartment 100 (i.e., the top surface of the refrigerator 1), and another part of the intake opening 40 and the outtake opening 50 is provided at the rear side surface of the mechanism compartment 100 (i.e., the rear surface of the refrigerator 1). In addition, the present invention is not limited thereto, for example, the air inlet 40 and the air outlet 50 may be only disposed on the top surface of the machinery room 100, or only disposed on the rear side surface of the machinery room 100, and the number and the position of the air inlet 40 and the air outlet 50 may be the same or different.

A condenser 10 and a compressor 20 are provided inside the machine room 100, and a fan 30 is further provided between the condenser 10 and the compressor 20. The condenser 10 is located on the side of the machine room 100 closer to the air inlet 40, and the compressor 20 is located on the side of the machine room 100 closer to the air outlet 50. When the fan 30 is operated, air outside the refrigerator 1 enters the machine chamber 100 through the air inlet 40, cools the condenser 10, flows to the compressor 20 to cool the compressor 20, and is discharged to the outside through the air outlet 50, thereby forming a refrigeration cycle. In fig. 4, the fan 30 is provided between the condenser 10 and the compressor 20, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be provided at any position in the machine room 100 as long as an air flow path that sequentially flows through the condenser 10 and the compressor 20 can be generated.

Fig. 5 is a plan view of the refrigerator 1 in a state of being embedded in the cabinet 500. Fig. 6 is a partially enlarged perspective view showing an attached state of a weather strip 60 according to embodiment 1, fig. 7 is a perspective view showing the weather strip 60 according to embodiment 1, and fig. 8 is a front view showing the weather strip 60 according to embodiment 1.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, on the top and back surfaces of the refrigerator 1, a wind shielding strip 60 is provided between the wind inlet 40 and the wind outlet 50, the wind shielding strip 60 extending in the front-rear direction and the up-down direction. When the refrigerator 1 is inserted into the cabinet 500, the wind-shielding strip 60 blocks the flow of air from the wind outlet 50 toward the wind inlet 40. Specifically, the weather strip 60 has a height capable of abutting against the inner surface of the cabinet 500, and when the refrigerator 1 is inserted into the cabinet 500, the top end of the weather strip 60 abuts against the inner surface of the cabinet 500 to block a space between the air inlet 40 and the air outlet 50 outside the refrigerator 1, thereby blocking the flow of air from the air outlet 50 to the air inlet 40.

By providing such a weather strip 60, hot air blown out from the air outlet 50 and collected near the top of the refrigerator 1 is not immediately sucked into the air inlet 40, and thus hot air blown out from the air outlet 50 is effectively prevented from being immediately sucked into the machine room 100, and a short circuit of a cooling air passage is prevented, so that heat radiation efficiency of the machine room 100 in a state where the refrigerator 1 is fitted into the cabinet 500 can be improved.

In addition, the shape and configuration of the weather strip 60 are not particularly limited as long as the flow of air from the outlet 50 to the inlet 40 is blocked.

Further, in embodiment 1, the weather strip 60 is provided between the air inlet 40 and the air outlet 50 at a position closer to the air outlet 50, whereby hot air blown out from the air outlet 50 can be made less likely to collect near the air inlet 40, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the machine room 100 in a state where the refrigerator 1 is embedded in the cabinet 500 can be further improved. The position of the weather strip 60 is not limited to this, and may be set at any position between the inlet 40 and the outlet 50 as needed as long as the air flow from the outlet 50 to the inlet 40 is blocked.

As shown in fig. 6 to 8, the weather strip 60 is a single member and is fixed to the refrigerator 1 such that the lower surface thereof is closely attached to the surface (e.g., the top surface and the back surface) of the refrigerator 1. The weather strip 60 extends in the front-rear direction and the up-down direction of the refrigerator 1 in correspondence with the position of the outlet 50. Specifically, in fig. 6, the wind shielding strip 60 extends in the front-rear direction on the top surface of the refrigerator 1 corresponding to the wind outlet 50 located on the top surface of the refrigerator 1, and extends in the up-down direction on the back surface of the refrigerator 1 corresponding to the wind outlet 50 located on the back surface of the refrigerator 1. Here, in order to achieve a better air flow blocking effect, the wind shielding strip 60 preferably extends at least beyond the wind outlet area of the wind outlet 50.

In addition, in the case where the outlet 50 is formed only on the top surface of the refrigerator 1, the wind shielding strip 60 may extend only on the top surface of the refrigerator 1 in the front-rear direction in correspondence with the outlet 50. In the case where the outlet 50 is formed only on the rear surface of the refrigerator 1, the wind shielding strip 60 may extend only on the rear surface of the refrigerator 1 in the up-down direction in correspondence with the outlet 50.

The fixing method of the weather strip 60 is not particularly limited, and for example, the weather strip 60 may be fixed to the refrigerator 1 by a claw or a screw, or the weather strip 60 may be fixed to the refrigerator 1 by being adhered with an adhesive or the like.

The weather strip 60 may be formed of a hard material such as PP or PS plastic, or may be formed of a flexible material such as rubber resin or olefinic thermoplastic elastomer, as necessary. In the case where the weather strip 60 is formed of a hard material, by providing such a weather strip 60 on the rear surface of the refrigerator 1, it is possible to secure a distance between the refrigerator 1 and the wall surface or the wall surface of the cabinet 500 located at the rear thereof, using the weather strip 60 as a stopper of the refrigerator 1, in addition to improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the machine room 100. Further, in the case where the weather strip 60 is formed of a flexible material, by providing such a weather strip 60 on the top surface of the refrigerator 1, it is possible to cope with a problem that the refrigerator 1 cannot be embedded in the cabinet 500 due to the height mismatch of the cabinet 500, it is possible to apply to various kinds of cabinets 500 of different heights, and it is also possible to increase the sealing property of the weather strip 60.

In embodiment 1, as shown in fig. 6, the weather strip 60 is formed by integrally molding the weather strip 60 provided on the top surface of the refrigerator 1 and the weather strip 60 provided on the back surface of the refrigerator 1, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the weather strip 60 provided on the top surface of the refrigerator 1 and the weather strip 60 provided on the back surface of the refrigerator 1 may be formed separately. Specifically, the weather strip 60 may include a portion provided on the top surface of the refrigerator 1 and a portion provided on the rear surface of the refrigerator 1, wherein the portion provided on the top surface of the refrigerator 1 is formed of a hard material, and is a flexible weather strip, and the portion provided on the rear surface of the refrigerator 1 is formed of a flexible material, and is a hard weather strip. According to this structure, since the flexible weather strip and the hard weather strip are provided at the top surface and the back surface of the refrigerator 1, respectively, the above two effects can be obtained at the same time, that is: the weather strip 60 can be used as a stopper of the refrigerator 1, so that the distance between the refrigerator 1 and the wall surface or the wall surface of the cabinet 500 located at the rear of the refrigerator 1 can be ensured, the problem that the refrigerator 1 cannot be embedded into the cabinet 500 due to the unmatched height of the cabinet 500 can be solved, the weather strip can be applied to various cabinets 500 with different heights, and the sealing performance of the weather strip 60 can be improved.

Further, the weather strip 60 may be configured to be adjustable in height, and for example, a plurality of grooves extending in the longitudinal direction of the weather strip 60 may be formed in the height direction of the weather strip 60, so that the weather strip 60 can be bent along the grooves to change the height thereof, thereby being applicable to various cabinets 500 having different heights.

< embodiment 2>

In embodiment 1, the weather strip 60 is a single member, whereas in embodiment 2, the weather strip 70 is an assembly. The other configurations of embodiment 2 are the same as those of the refrigerator 1 of embodiment 1, and therefore, the description thereof is omitted.

Fig. 9 is a partially enlarged perspective view showing an attached state of a weather strip 70 according to embodiment 2, fig. 10 is a perspective view showing the weather strip 70 according to embodiment 2, and fig. 11 is a front view showing the weather strip 70 according to embodiment 2.

As shown in fig. 9 to 11, the weather strip 70 is an assembly including a base 71 and an upper weather strip 72. The base 71 is fixed to the refrigerator 1 in such a manner that the lower surface thereof is closely attached to the surface of the refrigerator 1. For example, the base 71 of the weather strip 70 may be fixed to the refrigerator 1 by using a claw or a screw, or the base 71 of the weather strip 70 may be fixed to the refrigerator 1 by bonding with an adhesive or the like. The upper weather strip 72 is attached to the base 71 so as to be detachable from the base 71. For example, the upper weather strip 72 may be inserted into the base 71, or may be snapped together with the base 71.

The base 71 of the weather strip 70 is formed of a hard material such as PP, PS plastic, or the like. The upper weather strip 72 of the weather strip 70 may be formed of a hard material such as PP or PS plastic, or may be formed of a flexible material such as rubber resin or olefinic thermoplastic elastomer, as required. The same effects as those of embodiment 1 can be obtained by forming the upper weather strip 72 from a hard material or a flexible material.

In addition, the upper wind shielding strip 72 may be constituted by a first upper wind shielding strip 721 located on the top surface of the refrigerator 1 and a second upper wind shielding strip 722 located on the back surface of the refrigerator 1, as shown in fig. 11. By forming the first upper weather strip 721 of a flexible material and forming the second upper weather strip 722 of a hard material, it is possible to secure a distance between the refrigerator 1 and a wall surface or a wall surface of the cabinet 500 located at the rear thereof by using the weather strip 722 as a stopper of the refrigerator 1 in addition to improving heat dissipation efficiency, and it is possible to apply to various cabinets 500 of different heights by forming the first upper weather strip 721 of a flexible material, and to increase the sealing property of the weather strip 60. Further, the first upper weather strip 721 and the second upper weather strip 722 may also be formed of a flexible material as well, or a hard material as well, as necessary.

In addition, the weather strip 70 is configured to be adjustable in height. For example, the upper weather strip 72 may be configured to be adjustable in height, and more specifically, one or more grooves extending in the longitudinal direction of the upper weather strip 72 may be formed in the height direction of the upper weather strip 72, so that the upper weather strip 72 may be bent along the grooves to change the height thereof, thereby being applicable to various cabinets 500 having different heights.

As another example of the structure in which the height of the weather strip 70 can be adjusted, a plurality of insertion grooves into which the upper weather strip 72 is inserted may be provided in the pedestal 71. Specifically, a plurality of slots may be formed in the upper surface of the base 71, and the plurality of slots may have different insertion depths in the height direction. Thus, the upper weather strip 72 can be inserted into the insertion groove of the base 71 having a corresponding depth as required, so that the entire height of the weather strip 70 can be adjusted to be suitable for various cabinets 500 having different heights.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments, and various other application examples and modifications can be adopted without departing from the gist of the present invention described in the claims. In addition, other configurations can be added, deleted, and replaced for a part of the configurations of the embodiments.
